Description: A vintage photo taken by Aviation Cadet G.A. Bennett of the Royal Air Force. He was part of the Arnold Scheme program, where British pilots trained and prepared for war in the United States in the early war years. He was stationed in bases throughout Georgia during 1942 and 1943. This photo was taken by him and orginates from his personal album. It is likely one of a kind. Type & Size: A 3.5x5" original photograph.Condition: Original and in fair to good vintage condition. As it originated from a personal photo album from the 1940s it may contain remnants from being part of an album - marks, scuffs, pieces of cardboard or adhesives, etc. please see the photo scans for precise condition. A man is standing outside in front of a wooden building, smiling broadly. He is wearing an aviator’s gear with protective padding, a cap, and gloves. The attire suggests he is preparing for a flight. The setting appears casual, likely at Cochran Field in Georgia in 1942.Cochran Field was a pilot training base during World War II where many pilots were trained for the Allied forces. This photograph likely captures a moment of preparation or candidness off-duty. During this period, many locals and military personnel would have become familiar with such sights as training was intense and frequent.There is no visible text, signs, or logos in the photo itself. Present in this photo: Broady.
